A Great Website for Parents and Guardians

Here's the link to a wonderful site with tons of information for parents and guardians: http://www.floridapartnership.usf.edu/resources/tips.htm

There are different "tip sheets" listed by category that provide so many helpful hints and tools for teachers and families. Here are a few of the tip sheets that I highly recommend:

*Fun Ways to Read Together (under Reading)-I loved this tip sheet. One suggestion is for parents to create a library of books at home to show the importance of and encourage reading. Other great ways to encourage reading that are mentioned include creating treasure hunts and making comics together. Making fun reading activities like these will really get kids excited!

*Helping Your Child Concentrate (under Supporting Children's Academic Success & Development)-There were a lot of great tips on this tip sheet. Ideas include games such as "think of animals that begin with each letter of the alphabet" and "count down from 20". Parents can use fun games like these to help children with their concentration.
